What do the original olympic “games” reveal about ancient greek culture and values? (provide as many specific examples as possible, but a minimum of three.) what, in your view, is admirable abut the games and what is not?

1. The Olympic games were originally invented by the ancient Greeks. They got their name after the highest Greek mountain, which also represented the border with the ''barbarians'' on the north of them, namely the Macedonians, Illirians, Thracians, and Paionians. These games provide a nice clue about the values and culture of the Greeks in this period of time. One thing is the competitiveness that the Greeks had. Also, the striding toward perfect and strong body through exercise and healthy diet is another thing. The pride in representing the city-state and bringing glory to it was another important thing.

2. The thing that is admirable about the Olympic games is that it was an excellent way of competition without having any conflict, but being a peaceful, sporting event, in which people from the different city-states were trying to bring pride to themselves and their city-states. It was also very good because it was motivating the people to be like the competitors, to have healthy diets and regular exercises. The thing that is not admirable about the games is that people form other ethnic groups were not allowed to participate. It was only on few occasions that a single Macedonia was going to be allowed to participate, and when it happened that the Macedonian won, it was seen as big humiliation for the Greeks, so he was not given the honors and price as all other winners. SO we can say that it was a discriminatory competition.

africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the mediterranean sea, the red sea, the indian ocean, and the atlantic ocean. it is divided in half almost equally by the equator. the continent includes the islands of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.

africa’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.

the origin of the name “africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. most believe it stems from words used by the phoenicians, greeks, and romans. important words include the egyptian word afru-ika, meaning “motherland”; the greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”

today, africa is home to more countries than any other continent in the world. these countries are: morocco, western sahara (morocco), algeria, tunisia, libya, egypt, sudan, chad, niger, mali, mauritania, senegal, the gambia, guinea-bissau, guinea, sierra leone, liberia, côte d’ivoire, ghana, burkina faso, togo, benin, nigeria, cameroon, central africa republic, equatorial guinea, gabon, congo, democratic republic of the congo, angola, namibia, botswana, south africa, lesotho, swaziland, mozambique, zimbabwe, zambia, malawi, tanzania, rwanda, burundi, uganda, kenya, somalia, ethiopia, djibouti, eritrea and the island countries of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
